Ipswich Hospital

Fr Mathias Odigbo has been appointed as Catholic chaplain to the Ipswich Hospital and is assisted in this role by Deacon Clive Brooks. Fr Mathias can be contacted on 07951 066607 and Deacon Clive on 01206 396319. Please contact Fr Mathias or Deacon Clive if you or any member of your family is going into hospital or are taken ill in an emergency and require a priest.

Please note that for reasons of patient confidentiality, the current practice in the NHS is not to inform the chaplains of any Catholics that are admitted to hospital. So unless you or your relatives inform the chaplains of your hospital stay, you will not be visited by a priest or any other member of the chaplaincy team.

Holy Communion is taken to patients each Sunday morning by a team of Eucharistic Ministers from each of the parishes in the Ipswich deanery. If you or a family member would like to receive Holy Communion whilst you are in hospital, please let Fr Mathias or Deacon Clive know - you can contact them direct on the above telephone numbers or use the message form to advise Fr Mathew.
